I think when you listen to a whole Queen album, not only one or two songs on the radio, you realize you have lost your life listening to artificial music. That is what happened to me a few years ago.
When I found an album I have completely forgotten about (Gratest Hits 1) and I started listening to it... That's when it started. Since then, I can't seem to stop enjoying Queen.

I know this feeling damn well! When I first heard ANATO I was 15 and it was a kind of magic that happened... I still can't believe that there is a band in the real world, not in my imagination, who played the music I always wanted to hear. Before I heard them, I knew nothing of music...
I dare not say that in Romania there's such a big amount of Queen fans. Maybe there are some, but I dunno how to find'em...

I'm from Romania too. Maybe if the quality of the music promoted by televisions and radios would be better, perhaps there would be a lot more Queen fans. I am very pissed off by the free concerts politicians keep organizing to make themselves some publicity. Young people tend to refuze anything that has a prize (or quality). I hope it will change... and may Queen music gain more and more fans around the world. gee... that would be kinda cool...

Queen has been the all-time number 1 in the top 100 and top 2000 with BoRap since 1975...
and it wasn't the british who started the Queen fanclub at all!
First of all, in Holland, BEFORE any fanclub,there was "The Dedicated Queen Followers Association".
It was operated by dutch fans, who were te very first to recognise the true stars Queen were BEFORE anyone else did!!!
The people running this PRE-Queenfanclub thing were:
Donna Martinelli
Hennie Einkotter
Anja van Wijk
Rosy Kanselaar
This followers association existed quit long, and
because they grew so fast, the Official Dutch Queen Office was launched, before Hannie and Anja took that over some 21 years ago...
and 6 months later, the british started with the Official International Queen Fan Club, so the nomination in the Guiness Book Of World Records for the longest running fanclub, is....?
WE, the dutch, were the first to recognise the superstars Queen were then, and still are today!
It would be so nice, if these people could be traced and invited to the dutch meeting or the convention....like Vicky, Sue, Amanda...who all ran the fanclub in England before Jacky and Val took over....
Most fans do not even know the old names and faces...but the fanclubs as we know them today were started by REAL and TRUE heros!!!
They actually were the initiators and gave us the fanclubs in Holland and the U.K. as we know them now for more than 2 decades!
We are so lucky to have fanclubleaders who stick around and still go for it!
That is one of Queen's superachievements aswell!
But, to get to the point again,
Holland has an awful lot of Queenfans living in it, and although not too many are registered as active fanclubmembers here, in the hearts of the people from Holland, Freddie and Queen still live on!!!
